Every tree makes certain demands on its environment. For healthy growth, you should therefore also pay attention to a few parameters with the ash.
The ash likes moist soil
distribution
While the ash tree can be found throughout Germany, it also inhabits all parts of Europe except southern Spain and the far north of Scandinavia. The deciduous tree is also native to large parts of America.
soil claims
Ash requires very moist soil with a base saturation of no more than 40%. Their roots often serve the purpose of stabilizing the soil. Ash trees like to grow in locations where beeches are too wet. For this reason, the ash can be described as a pioneer tree, since the beech endangers its existence.
Plan ahead
If you want to plant an ash tree in the garden, you should pay attention to the enormous growth. Since ash trees are among the largest deciduous trees in Europe, the crown needs enough space.
superstition
In Norse mythology, the ash tree is considered the center of the universe. According to the Germans, the crown, trunk and roots form the connection between heaven, earth and the underworld.
